This design is made up of quite a few memories from my past and present.
Here is the story behind the design.
My mom was a prima ballerina at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, MO. She entertained me for hours recounting the stories from performing there. I felt so special knowing my mom was a ballet dancer. In my mind, she was royalty...a princess.
When I was 7, my teacher assigned the class to create a drawing of a snowman on construction paper with crayons and cotton balls. Art was and still remains my favorite subject. I remember my teacher telling me that my artwork showed lots of character. But there was something missing. She asked me to sign name in the right hand corner. As soon as I put the dot over the i in Traci, I immediately felt a rush throughout my body. I knew right then and there that I wanted to be an artist.
When I was 13, my parents took me to the Barnum and Bailey circus for my birthday. My favorite part of the show was watching the dogs do all the tricks. I was just fascinated at all the things they were trained to do.
When I was 16. My mom took me to see Marcel Marceau at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA. I was mesmerized by his performance. My mom and I were invited back stage and I actually got to meet him. Marcel Marceau held my hand in his and looked me straight in the eyes. His hands were still warm from his performance. It is a moment I will never forget. It is encapsulated in my very soul.
Fast forward to 2021. I am now 61. I live in Montana where I design in my workshop that has beautiful views of the mountains. It is very rare for me to go to a circus or to a theatre so I depend on nature and my imagination for much of my entertainment. One of my favorite forms of entertainment is watching the sun disappear behind the snow capped mountains as the stars start to light up the sky.
I gathered up all these memories and put them in this little design just for you.
